Hi There,

We are looking for an amazing motion graphics designer who prides themselves on attention to detail and superb communication.
We have a very specific brief with an existing logo design, and we need the vector text to be animated in an interesting and engaging way.

We are looking for creativity and an art in bringing elements together to create super slick seamless transitions and dynamic movement. As a brand focused design agency, we create engaging visuals and we need someone who can bring those graphics to life!

We have a very detailed brief, and require our logo which is already design in a vector format ready to be animated, to be animated professionally. The animation will make the bookends of our video content.
The animation is very short, around (15 secs approx) and we require a few variations of the animations in a few different colours we have already selected. Our candidate must have an excellent understanding of rhythm and timing and be familiar with the "ease in, ease out" & "Masking" style of super slick animation.

The full brief and details will be provided to shortlisted candidates.
Please apply only if you have the skills and the portfolio to support logo animation.
Also, please only share examples which you have created yourself from scratch / or animated yourself from scratch with the assets supplied to you.

We should also add that we are looking for a reliable, quality animator with whom to build an ongoing relationship. If this interests you, this is the job for you!

You need to be able to follow instructions to the smallest detail and work quickly.
To avoid disapointment, please only apply if you meet all of the criteria mentioned above.
Say Hi to us by starting your application with Hi There Buzzing Bee.

Important:
We will require the final mechanical files for the project so they will need to be neat, named layers and we cannot use external plugins for effects etc (unless they can be baked into After Effects in a non-destructive way).

We have attached some animations that capture the slickness of animation we are looking for, but none of them are exactly what we are looking for. It is going to be a mixture of elements from each of them.

We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.

We have already made a video through Adobe Captivate. We are having a problem with it.

We made this video by importing a power point presentation. The graphics and information on the presentation were approved by a community advisory board, and we would really like to keep the ppt graphics and format in the video. However, when viewing the video on different sized screens it seems to distort the images and the text on the slides.

I tried to adjust the size of the video to fit a typical phone screen, and it worked for the first couple of times that we watched the video, but then the video just went back to a distorted image. I did not touch anything. It seemed to have happened on its own.

We wanted to see if hiring a consultant would help with finishing off the last few steps to get this video out.
